Drug Cost Management Report

Atlantic Information Servicesret that drug costs are gobbling up an ever-larger percentage of the health care dollar. Purchasers, employers, health plans, pharmacy benefit companies, manufacturers, pharmacies and others who are affected by drug costs are scrambling to find ways to understand and control this important trend.
Drug Cost Management Report provides information you just can't get anywhere else! Major PBMs and HMOs across the country are surveyed every quarter – giving us candid answers about what's working, what's not, and what's being tried right now … plus strategies, techniques, trends and tips that we pass on to readers in 16-20 pages each month.

Here are a few of the issues we'll be covering:

• Efforts being made to bring HMOs, PBMs and drug makers together at the R&D stage of drug development in order to control drug costs when drugs make it into formularies – particularly since the trend toward drugmaker outsourcing will provide opportunities for HMOs and PBMs to get involved at earlier stages.
• HMO efforts to educate the public about formulary decisions and compliance issues.
• Tracking the expected huge increase in copayments for drug benefit plans.
• Medicare drug benefits – Congressional initiatives to subsidize drugs for all seniors.
  You'll get analyses of a particular drug category or area of utilization. And you'll get analyses of a particular cost control technique – how companies are using it and what results they are getting. Plus, you'll get loads of data: charts, graphs, statistics, rankings and more.
